Positive

• 'Bingley was endangered to Darcy by the easiness, openness, ductility of his temper.'


  Darcy can also be seen as kind, easy-going and honest.
• 'She said no more... and parted in silence, on each side dissatifisied... in Darcy's breast there was a tolerable powerful feeling for her.'

  Darcy's inability to communicate renders him as misunderstood and miserable.
• 'Mr Darcy looked a little ashamed of his aunt's ill-breeding and made no answer.

  Darcy mirrors Elizabeth’s embarrassment at her mother, with his mortification at his aunt’s blunt rudeness. In this respect, the two protagonists are on a similar journey, learning to forge their own way apart from family loyalty and tradition.
• “It is many months since I have considered her as one of the handsomest women of my acquaintance.” 

  Infatuated with her beauty and wit

  Darcy finds the courage to noticeably correct Miss Bingley and defend Elizabeth and in so doing, he emerges from behind his shyness.
• “But I was embarrassed.” 

  He was shy and vulnerable
• ‘He assisted him farther in his profession’ 

  Still helps Wickham despite his better judgement as he is married to Lydia and he helps family.
• ‘You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.”

  Can't hide his feelings
• ‘I will only add, God bless you.’ 


  Still able to wish the best for her, despite being rejected. Still cares for her. 'God' gives holy connotations
